Galaxy Jet Wobble Drives Massive Gas Outflows, Study Finds
Astronomers observe a wobbling jet from an active galactic nucleus driving gas out of a disk galaxy, revealing how supermassive black holes shape their hosts.
Key Takeaways
- Wobbling jet from supermassive black hole clears gas from host galaxy
- Precession lets narrow jet sweep across wide volume like a cosmic fire hose
- Provides direct evidence of AGN feedback mechanism predicted by cosmological models
